Happy May everyone and happy spring! I absolutely love this time of the year. It's finally time to wear flip-flops and coconut scented body lotion, and it's also time to pick out books to read by the beach. What are some of your favorite beach reads?
I still enjoy reading my cozy mysteries, but I'm excited to pick up some Hallmark books this summer. I love the films, so it will be nice to read some of the stories too. :) What are some of your favorite Hallmark movies? Do you love the Christmas films? Apparently, they just announced that there will be forty new Christmas films this year! Happy movie watching and happy reading!
Grab the book nearest to you and leave a comment with the first line!
Today I am going to post a line from:
by Nancy Naigle
And the first line is...
"Kelly McIntyre didn't care if the town of Bailey's Fork, North Carolina was too small in some folks' eyes. It was big enough to have kept the Main Street Cafe open through four generations of McIntyres."
Happy reading and happy Friday!
Let me know your first line in the comments & then head over to Hoarding Books to see who else is participating!
I love Nancy Naigle's books, but I haven't read this one yet. I love the opening line :)
ReplyDeleteOn my blog today I'm sharing the first line from Becky Wade's Sweet on You.
"Five hundred and eleven days had passed since he'd seen her last."

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog, I am sharing the first few lines from The Heart of a King by Jill Eileen Smith: https://christianfictiongirl.blog/2019/05/02/first-line-friday-85/. I am beginning chapter 20 so I will leave the first line from there.
"Abishag's mood slipped into melancholy as the months continued on after King David's death, a mood she had not experienced to any great length since her mother had passed into Sheol."
Hope you have an excellent weekend. Happy reading! 🙂💚📚

ReplyDeleteToday on my blog I shared the first line from The Refuge by Ann Gabhart but my next read I'll be starting shortly is Shadow Among Sheaves by Naomi Stephens so I'll share the first line from the prologue here: "The sun was the same, but that was all." Hope you have a wonderful weekend! Happy Reading!
I always have books in rotation too. :) Have a great weekend Becca and happy reading!

DeleteHappy Friday! I’m sharing from The Pink Bonnet by Liz Tolsma on my blog today, but here’s the first line from chapter two of my current read, When Mountains Move by Julie Cantrell:
ReplyDelete“There’s something romantically hopeful about having a wedding in the middle of a war.”
Wow...what a powerful first line. Happy reading Yvette!
DeleteI'm so late in getting around to everyone! I'm sharing the first lines from When He Found Me by Victoria Bylin:
ReplyDelete"Shane Riley yanked his wet Levi's out of a grimy washing machine, one of twenty or so in a Laundromat straight out of 1992."
